PERMEABLE PAVER INSTALLATION
Permeable Pavers are intended to allow for water to penetrate into the ground below. Permeable Pavers are not grouted and can migrate from their orignal placement with time. There are several factors to consider for your installation. Installation techniques will vary from project to project, depending on your specific application.
Permeable Pavers are a fragile product, made of natural clay. Minor variations in size, shade, irregular edges and the appearance of fine cracks or chips are inherent to this product and can vary from piece to piece. As well as variances in the body flatness, meaning some may require special attention when installing. This is common and will be part of your tiles variation. Details that are visible up close, will be appear subtle upon full installation. If properly installed, Permeable Pavers will result in a beautiful, durable, easy to maintain surface that can be enjoyed for many years.
To ensure that your install lasts a long time, we highly recommend having a professional handle the installation. Their expertise and experience will ensure that the tile is installed correctly and will maintain its quality over time. More complex installs such as a free-standing breeze block wall may require more comprehensive project-specific installation methods. For such installs, we recommend to connect with an architect, structural engineer or qualified mason to ensure the integrity of your installation will be ideal for use.
